Wolves possibly? Everyone is assuming they will storm into the premier league and be comfortable mid-table, but its not so simple, especially if the hype gets too far ahead of reality.

Next season could be tougher for us - we had just one week in the relegation zone this season, suspensions and injuries only hurt us at the end, will it be so straightforward next year - especially if we lose Dunk?

We need goals, and not just any goals. More goals need to come from midfielders like Stephens and Propper chipping in with their share. Dunk and Duffy too (just hitting the target would be good from the latter) We need to be more dynamic in midfield going forward and not be content with sideways possession-keeping. Difficult though it is we also need to be more assertive away from home. There were points given away cheaply at Watford, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Southampton, Palace and (especially) West Brom because we were set up to not lose. We have the players to win matches but they don't appear to be allowed the freedom to express themselves fully. I can understand it this season but we will not be the unknown quantity next year. Albion are too easily worked out at times.

We're right in the mix, even with Dunk, from day one 2018/19 season. That's not pessimism, Hughton will quite rightly say similar. The moment PL clubs of Brighton's size think otherwise, that can spell a case of the WBA/Southampton/Stoke's.

This is very true. It will interesting to see how long this fresh paint smell of the Premier league will last. Any more than 3 seasons of fighting relegation and people will start demanding the club kicks on. This is what happens everywhere and our fans are no different.

Think we have to accept that if we don't find a way of playing that challenges in games against the top 6 or , we will be down there and at risk.

Not just the top six. Any team that pressures us seems to make our players treat the ball like a hot potato. We need to find a way to keep calm and retain the ball better when teams close us down. There is a reason we played well against United in all three games, almost no pressure exerted against us.

Back on track, I think Smug Eddie will ensure Bournemouth are safe again but I can see Cardifff, Watford, Huddersfield and West Ham struggling.

Always had a lot of respect for Brighton for what you've been through over the years but you're losing the plot.

Mid table team after 1 season in the top flight! Blimey!

This is the opinion of one person while many on here believe it will be a similar battle to this season, so you shouldn’t assume all of us Albion fans are losing the plot ! I wouldn’t be surprised if there is at least one Town fan who also thinks you’ll push on be mid table next season !
